Spoke to the guy today. May look at it this coming weekend if it is still available. Debating whether I had enough fun on the BB over the past five years. Did a 600+ mile trip last weekend and I was sore. Muscles ached, butt was in pain for most of the ride. Corbin seat not very comfortable on long highway stretches. So I started looking at cruisers online which is what most of my friends in NJ ride. I ran into an ad for the R1200C (Montauk edition) and started looking up things about it. Slow as molasses with only 61Hp and 79lbft for a 600 lb bike. But I sort of like the style. And it is a cruiser that did not follow the Harley mold. It was featured in a Bond flick back in 2002. Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan and Michele Yeow. Also found out it was in the opening scene of Austin Powers Gold Member. That is two more movies than the BB has been featured in. Finally, someone else who loves the R1200C. I would get one as a cruiser in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say there's a;ways someone who shares your love... so when you going to buy the one for sale in my 'hood? You can leave it in my garage for me to ignore* *or use it to wheelie through speed camera zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is about half the price but needs work. How about this? https://lakeland.craigslist.org/mcy/5653366633.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
